Industrial orders fell, but the central bank said this was mainly down to natural \u2018volatility\u2019 in the placing of large orders.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Despite the additional burdens imposed by new US tariffs, there are no signs of a major slowdown for industry in the third quarter,\u2019 it said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Demand for German industrial goods is fundamentally on the rise.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The report will make welcome reading for conservative chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has made shaking Germany out of its economic slump a top priority.<\/p>\n<p>Germany\u2019s economy will avoid a technical recession \u2014 defined as at least two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth \u2014 if it expands in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Economic growth for the second quarter was in August revised down to minus 0.3 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>This sparked fears that a relatively strong start to the year was not down to sustained recovery but rather US customers \u2018front-loading\u2019 orders before the US tariffs could take effect.<\/p>\n<p>Merz has promised to spend hundreds of billions of euros on rearmament and infrastructure upgrades in a bid to get the country and its economy back on their feet.<\/p>\n<p>But German industry faces structural challenges, including high energy costs and increasingly fierce Chinese competition in the automotive and industrial sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Industrial firms\u2019 competitiveness was \u2018weakening\u2019, the Bundesbank said, adding that they were working \u2018under capacity\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Germany\u2019s battered economy should dodge a technical recession in the immediate future, thanks&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":436751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[24953,24952,24950,24947,24949,24946,2000,299,1824,24951,24948,24944,24945],"class_list":{"0":"post-436750","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-bangla-online-news","9":"tag-bangladesh-latest-news","10":"tag-bangladesh-news","11":"tag-bangladesh-newspaper","12":"tag-bangladeshi-newspapers","13":"tag-daily-new-age","14":"tag-eu","15":"tag-europe","16":"tag-germany","17":"tag-latest-bangladesh-news","18":"tag-most-popular-outspoken-english-daily-newpaper-in-bangladesh","19":"tag-new-age","20":"tag-the-new-age"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
